Don, that's a fine looking young man and he has a good teacher. You will both be lucky to have time to spend together.

I didn't know that you were into building primitive bows. In the past year I bought back a dogwood and a yew bow that I built about 15 years ago. It was like running into old friends.

Don, Great looking boy. Looks to be a real archer. Build him another lighter bow. He will need this one soon enough, as he grows. Good Grandpa!!
